The most notable bird of the Llanos de Moxos is the endangered blue-throated macaw (Ara glaucogularis), a forest island specialist that feeds primarily on the fruits of Attalea and Acrocomia palms and which occurs nowhere else on Earth.

The highest survival rates were seen in the induced progeny types–yellow-throated lizards of both sexes with barred backs, orange-throated males with striped backs, and blue-throated females with striped backs.

Orange-throated males are highly aggressive and usurp territory from other lizards; yellow-throated males sneak into the territories of other males to mate with females; and blue-throated males form partnerships and cooperate to protect their territories.
